"Hmm? How could that be? I'm in good health. Look, girl!”
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his chest hard to hide his embarrassment.
Empress Ma became even more suspicious when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang's expression.
If this Chongba didn't have something he didn't want to tell her, he definitely wouldn't do such a thing.
She knew him too well.
However, she had to give him some face.
"If that's the case, this concubine will go and see if Guanglu Temple's meal is ready."
"Sister, how can I trouble you with this? Why don't you arrange for an inner servant…"
Empress Ma smiled and said,"You can stay here and watch the video. I'd better go and see it myself."
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say anything and nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Number Two was transforming the Great Ming World.
Wenying Hall held a secret meeting today.
It was mainly led by Xu Ben and Zhan Hui.
The purpose of the meeting was to deal with Emperor Hongwu's return to the capital and to lay his cards on the table.
The participants were all from the King Chen's Party. Those who didn't belong to the King Chen's Party were all kicked out.
It could be seen how well the Chen Wang Faction had hidden themselves!!!
"Show me your cards! We have to lay our cards on the table with His Majesty!"
"Great Ming belongs to His Highness King Chen! The world belongs to His Royal Highness!"
"We will support His Highness the King of Chen until we die!!!”
The atmosphere at the scene was very hot.
It was so hot that Xu Ben's repeated scolding was useless.
It was only when Fu Youde roared that the zealous civil officials quieted down.
Seeing this, Xu Ben secretly poked Zhan Hui with his elbow.
Zhan Hui immediately stood up, his expression extremely solemn.
"Everyone, listen to me. I don't know who I am, but everyone knows very well that just now, I…"
"Therefore, His Majesty is about to return to the capital. This is a crisis for the King Chen's Party, but also an opportunity for us!
That was to support His Highness the King of Chen! Minister Xu is with me, he is in charge of contacting His Highness!”
Then, Zhan Hui signaled Xu Ben to say a few words.
Xu Ben stepped forward awkwardly.
An hour passed.
"Therefore, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. Long live His Highness the King of Chen!!!”
Xu Ben raised his right fist and roared with all his strength!
The hundreds of civil servants raised their right fists.
" Long live His Highness King Chen!"
A moment later, the mobilization meeting finally ended.
Zhan Hui sighed." It's a big deal. Let's go, Old Xu. Let's go to the other room and have some tea."
Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Xu Ben still raising his right fist.
"Old Xu, everyone's gone. What are you doing?"”
"Old Zhan, give me a hand. I used too much force just now, I can't move!”
Then, Zhan Hui looked at Xu Ben's face and indeed revealed a painful expression.
He quickly helped Xu Ben to sit down in a separate room.
"I say, Old Xu, you're too immersed in your character."
Zhan Hui started to scold Xu Ben.
"We are indeed working for His Royal Highness, but we have to be useful so that we can do more for His Royal Highness!”
Hmm?
When Xu Ben heard this, he immediately felt a little strange.
Why did Old Zhan's words sound a little greedy?
But if he was greedy for life, why would he participate in this forced abdication?
One had to know that forcing the abdication was not a child's play. Halfway through, they could still call for a pause.
According to Emperor Hongwu's temper.
Once it started, unless one side completely failed, it would definitely not end.
So, Old Zhan still had the mentality of getting lucky?
Zhan Hui was smart and could tell what Xu Ben was thinking at a glance.
Old Xu couldn't hide his thoughts on his face.
"Hmph, do you think I, Zhan Hui, am a two-faced person? This gamble is right in front of me. If I don't do it, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!
I won't be able to close my eyes even if I die!
So, before that, live well. Whether or not you succeed depends on this time."
Seeing Zhan Hui's firm attitude, Xu Ben was finally relieved.
Even Xu Ben, the leader of the Chen Wang Party, would be killed if Zhan Hui ran away.
Then he didn't know what to do.
"That's good."
At this moment, on the way back to Beijing.
Compared to going to Quanzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang returned much faster.
The carriage left the city and boarded the ship of Prince Chen's mansion.
Flying scissors boat, boat exactly as its name suggests.
Like a pair of scissors, he cut through the waves along the way.
He estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang would be able to return to the capital in less than a day.
"Where did Chen 'er get this boat? It's so different from the Fu boat and the Guang boat.!!”
Old Zhu naturally knew about boats.
Back then, during the Battle of Poyang Lake, he defeated Chen Youliang's 600,000-strong army.
Along the way, they seized Chen Youliang's remaining warships.
Old Zhu had even personally piloted the boat before.
The speed of those warships could not compare to the ship he was currently on.
There was a huge difference!
Moreover, according to the so-called captain, this kind of ship was actually a commercial ship.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't figure it out. Commercial and military products looked similar.
Could it be that just because one had weapons and the other did not, they were divided into commercial and military use?
"Father, why did you suddenly decide to take the sea route?”
Zhu Biao was puzzled.
His father had originally planned to return to the capital by land, but he was halfway there.
They went to the port and saw a merchant ship heading to the capital.
Hence, he and his father got on the boat together.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
"Didn't Chen 'er say that opening the sea is the future of Ming Dynasty?
So I thought I'd come to see what the sea looks like.
Looking at it now, it was indeed magnificent!”
Oh?
So it was because of Brother Chen.
Zhu Biao did not continue.
Although he had not left Quanzhou for long.
However, Zhu Biao did miss Brother Chen.
Zhu Biao felt that he had benefited a lot after just a few days of interaction.
If the time had been a little longer.
Zhu Biao felt that it was not impossible for his knowledge to surpass his father's!
Suddenly, Zhu Biao noticed that there was an argument in the bullet screen.
"The Ming Xian Sect is so powerful, how can the Ming Cheng Sect compare!”
"Bullshit! Chen Wang Ming is so glorious, how can you compare to him!”
"Didn't you see the title above?”
"What's the use of a title? Previously, he even said that Zhu Youqi was the master of the revival!”
"That's irony! Do you understand?"
"Hmph, an atonement order? I'm afraid he's on par with Zhu Youqi!"
" Be quiet, watch the video!"
At this moment, in the video,
Zhu Zongshu of the Ming Cheng Sect had been disliked since he was young.
He wasn't the Crown Prince to begin with, and he hadn't been groomed according to the Crown Prince's standards.
However, his old father was too good at living.
His age was comparable to Glory Sect's.
He was the second oldest emperor in the Great Ming Dynasty. It had been a full 90 years. Compared to Sage Sect, there was only a gap of 10 years.
Logically speaking, the late Emperor would definitely follow the old tradition of the Ming Dynasty.
One crown prince after another died.
However, the late emperor had a son who was very resilient.
His name was Zhu Zongshu!
Its vitality was extremely tenacious, just like an old pine tree.
He became the Crown Prince at the age of sixteen and had been in office for sixty years.
In fact, many of his younger brothers had also been tortured to death by Zhu Zongshu.
In the end, the Crown Prince could not hold it in any longer.
He had brazenly activated the Palace Change!
That night, gunshots continued to ring out in the palace.
The late emperor, who was already old, was scared to death.
This time, Zhu Zongshu was in trouble!
He didn't want to kill his father and rebel. He wanted to become the emperor and have his father issue an edict to abdicate to him!
But now, not to mention the imperial edict, even the person was gone.
In view of this.
Zhu Zongshu simply went all out and forged the edict.
However, at this moment, Zhu Zongshu led the army to arrive. They used tear gas and then disarmed Zhu Zongshu's side.
Then, he took control of the palace.
This year, Zhu Zongshu was fifteen years old.
At this moment, in the bullet screen…
"Yes... It was an old tradition of the King of Chen. Being an emperor didn't depend on how good you were. It depended on whether you could live past the previous emperor!”
" Haha, that's too funny. It's not the Crown Prince's fault. Who would want to be the Crown Prince for more than sixty years?"
"Indeed, if it were me, I would have rebelled long ago!”
"Brothers, don't you find it strange? Why are there so few emperors of the Ming Dynasty with long lifespans? Why are there so many people of the Chen Dynasty with long lifespans?”
"No, brother, you still don't understand. The reason why the number one Great Ming Emperor had such a short life was because of the cabinet."
"That's right. The only two emperors with longevity are still hiding in the palace and not attending court! I won't be able to find where I am!"
"Bullshit! The people in the cabinet were all Grand Scholars, how could this be!!!”
The comments started arguing again.
At this moment, the video continued to progress.
After that, the Imperial Clan Court, the Cabinet, and the Military Department all expressed that Zhu Zongshu was no longer suitable to be the Crown Prince.
In fact, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, all his rights would be revoked!
This punishment was severe.
The removal of all rights meant that Zhu Zongshu could not do anything else in his life except to live.
Once they violated it, they would be executed!
However, Zhu Zongshu felt that the punishment was too harsh.
He wanted to reduce his elder brother's punishment, but the three divisions rejected him.
The cabinet chief said bluntly,"The laws of Glory Sect cannot be profaned!"
Helpless, Zhu Zongshu could only punish him according to the law.
After that, Zhu Zongshu ascended the throne.
An order was issued.
Except for the most unpardonable.
As for the others, no matter what kind of crimes they committed, they could reduce their crimes through military merits and special contributions.
However, if one wanted military merits, one had to join the army.
But it was Big Ming's military rules.
Only young men from the last three generations with no criminal records could join the army.
As for the special contribution points, that was even more plausible.
What was a special contribution?
In the second year of Longhe, Zhu Zongshu cultivated new rice seeds.
Zhu Zongshu believed that he had made a special contribution.
Therefore, Zhu Zongshu submitted the proposal to the cabinet.
They didn't even let the Military Department and the Imperial Clan Court participate.
The cabinet chief was so angry that he retired on the spot.
In the end, Zhu Zongshu finally pardoned his brother as he wished.
However, even so, Zhu Zongshu could never return to the royal family.
He could only be a commoner.
After that, Zhu Zongshu discussed with the cabinet to cancel the atonement order.
At this moment, in the bullet screen…
"Uh... So Zhu Zongshu came up with this decree to exonerate his brother!”
"Good fellow! They really have a deep brotherly relationship. There were so many dynasties and so many deposed crown princes, but none of them were like these two brothers."
"This is considered rare in the royal family. Even in the homes of ordinary people, it's rare!”
"Hehe, it seems that this Zhu Zongshu is still a benevolent emperor."
"Hehe, kind my ass!"
At this moment, Number Two transformed the Great Ming World.
"Old Zhan, what do you mean?
If Zhu Zongshu was not kind, why would he go through so much trouble for his brother?”
Xu Ben was puzzled.
Old Zhan's fart just now had stunned him.
He rarely saw Old Zhan swear.
"Old Xu, you should be more careful. If Zhu Zongshu is benevolent, we can write the word Zhan upside down!”
Zhan Hui's solemn look made Xu Ben even more confused.
He pondered carefully in his mind.
However, after thinking about it, Zhu Zongshu was that kind of person.
The video showed it clearly.
Seeing Xu Ben's expression, Zhan Hui knew that he did not understand.
"Old Xu, do you think the video shows that Zhu Zongshu and the deposed Crown Prince have a good relationship?”
Xu Ben shook his head.
He knew this, and it was indeed as Old Zhan had said.
"If that's the case, why would he care about a deposed Crown Prince?
He just wanted to use the deposed Crown Prince to flaunt his benevolence, understood?”
So that was the case.
Zhu Zongshu did this on purpose.
But if that was the case, why was he so eager to take back the atonement token?
This way, he would be telling the cabinet.
I won't pretend anymore, I won't show my cards!
Xu Ben voiced his doubts, and Zhan Hui thought about it.
"This is simple. He just thinks that the Military Department and the Imperial Clan Court are supporting him, so there's no need to pretend!”
Xu Ben nodded slowly.
What Old Zhan said made sense.
At this time, Quanzhou, Chen Wang Fu.
"Makes sense my ass. This is all you've figured out?”
Zhu Chen looked at Yang Shiqi speechlessly.
